Blue Prince, the acclaimed roguelike puzzle game, launches today on Switch 2 with a notable addition: mouse control support through the Joy-Con's underutilized feature. The game debuted during Nintendo's Indie World Showcase, bringing its unique mansion-building mechanics to Nintendo's latest console.

Players explore a mysterious mansion by placing magical blueprints to construct rooms room by room. The twist? When exploration hits a dead end, everything resets but knowledge carries over to the next run. This clever roguelike loop earned Blue Prince a spot on Engadget's 2025 favorites list, with critics calling it a "masterpiece" for its atmospheric design and clever gameplay.

The Switch 2 version costs $30 but launches at a discounted $20 price point. The exclusivity raises questions since the game's visual appeal stems more from art direction than technical demands that would require Switch 2 hardware. Despite this, Blue Prince represents a strong addition to the Nintendo eShop, bringing its addictive puzzle-solving to a new audience.
